For the last two years Rosalie has worked for CORE Education in the Māori Medium team facilitating Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA), Te Reo Māori in Māori in Medium and Te Reo o te Kaiako. This has involved a blended delivery of wānanga, face to face and online learning approaches in order to build capabilities with kaiako, kura and schools.

Rosalie has been teaching for 11 years in rūmaki within the Waikato and South Auckland where knowledge of diversity and multiculturalism was fostered. She has recently completed a dissertation: "How to build a community of successful Māori learners in a decile one school", in order to identify key components to ensure success for Māori supports success for all.

She has also supported professional learning services for dual medium schools in Modern Learning Environments and the Transform programme in supporting schools revisioning their vision and direction.

Personal statement

Wagner (2008) states “Knowledge is a commodity, it is free like the air we breathe”, if this is the case then what we teach, how we teach and knowing why we are teaching is fundamental. This needs to be clear and at the forefront. I believe in the principles of collaboration, connection, agency and ubiquity are key drivers for student success for 21st century learners. I am passionate about upholding Māori heritage, culture, identity and language which I use as a platform to teach from. My personal challenge is to support blended learning of te reo Māori while maintaining tikanga and kaupapa Māori values. I believe technology has the opportunity to transform Māori education and bring about success for all.
